Guys, I ride every weekends and I make a point to bail out of town on every rides.
A couple of buddies and I only use secondary roads...no traffic, intersections, cops or other bikers to worry about.
So you can do it the right way and wearing the proper gears etc...
Also, twice a year I go in the Mountains to enjoy the twisties there because after all, the real thrill on to wheels is to throw the bike in the turns.

I would love to get and learn how to ride a motorcycle, but it is just too f'n dangerous here. People drive like jackasses, as do a lot of the folks on bikes. I have been seeing at least one motorcycle accident a week it seems like since summer began.
